In response to God's love for us in Christ, we seek to be:
Christ-Centred
We gratefully focus on God’s Son, crucified for our sins, risen, glorified and returning.
Jesus said, ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’.
Bible-Rooted
We obediently submit to God’s Word as our supreme authority in all matters of faith and life.
Jesus said, ‘It is written...’
Spirit-Empowered
We humbly depend on God’s Spirit in His life-giving power in all we do.
Jesus said, ‘You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you...’
God-Glorifying
We joyfully honour God’s name, pointing to Him and seeking to please Him both in what we do and how we do it.
Jesus said, ‘Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven’.
Church-Growing
We generously use God’s gifts to welcome all, to love and serve one another and to grow as a church family.
Jesus said, ‘I will build my church...’
World-Reaching
We confidently share God’s gospel in word and deed, both locally and around the world.
Jesus said: ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you to the very end of the age’.
